Yeah... apparently pardons absolve you of responsibility for a specific charge within a specific jurisdiction... however the recipient can still be tried and convicted for other factors related to the pardoned crime, and in other jurisdictions. I can't remember who, but someone like Flynn or Manafort - who Trump pardoned - is now back in court in NYC on the same charges, because the pardon doesn't "trickle down" to the lower courts...? or something? I forget the details of each of the rich old white men gaming the system with bottomless funding from dark sources... :(
